The Chargers currently trail the Falcons at the halfway mark, 17-10.
Los Angeles’ secondary has been exposed, as quarterback Matt Ryan has had plenty of his skill players wide open. As a result, Ryan is 10-of-14 passing for 130 yards and a touchdown.
Wide receiver Russell Gage also tossed the team’s first score, where he found WR Calvin Ridley in the end zone.

It’s been a rough day for cornerback Chris Harris Jr. and free safety Nasir Adderley. Harris has struggled in coverage while Adderley has looked uninspired in the tackling department.
